Index Card a Day Round Up
Can you believe it? More than a month of Index Card Joyous Juciness!
This week was a complete Departure from my normal 'Modus Operandi'... it was Neutral Colors!
What? Can it be? Did she actually create something that Didn't include something from every Color Family? Is it a sign of the Apocalypse?
Well- lest you have Too high an Expectation of my "Neutral; Coffee and Tea Stained" attempts ...My first card resulted in this Poor Thing...
And YES.....those are Coffee Stains!....
Ya....I know...I know...
The Lovely Ladies of ICAD are posting the most Amazing 'Coffee and Tea Based" Art! There are Beautiful feathers painted with different dylusions of Coffee and Blissful Backgrounds of Tea Stainded 'Wonderey Goodness'!
I have no idea what their "Beverage-based-Secrets" are...but here's what happened when I stuck 2 Index cards in a bowl of my Precious Duncan Donuts Coconut Coffee....(with 3 sweeteners, Almond Milk and Whip Cream of course...)

Seriously?! Needless to say those two guys are sitting in my "What-the-heck-am-I-gonna-do-with-these" pile!
BUT! I did break out the Closest thing I was going to get to "Coffee/Tealiciousness"...my Trusty Ranger "Tea Stain" Ink Pad!
I even had a blast making my Very First Tutorial! You can go check it out over a 'Cup of Joe'!
So Here are the Neutral Cards so far:)
It was a lot of Fun and a Considerable Challenge to stay in this Color Pallete! Can't wait for the next one!!
Do you have a "Beverage-Stained-Beauty" you'd like to Share with Us? Send me a Link!
Love to All!
hey, I think your stained cards came out terrific! and the warped ones from your Duncan Donuts coffee--just put them under a heavy book overnight. they'll flatten out just fine and then you can create to your heart's content. and probably they will smell really good! ;)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the ICAD roundup and these are fabulous results though I can see from your Accomplishment photo that working in this palette is WAY outside your usual M.O. I love your bright colors but there's something very appealing about this calm look as well. Can't wait to see what July brings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terrie,
DeleteI really love the ICAD challenge. It really makes me try new things:) But you know I'll be back to my Color Packed ways soon! Thanks so much for coming by!
Great round-up photo Molly!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of all your cards! You rocked neutrals! If you discover the secret to painting with tea and coffee then please share. I have never had good results, and always turn to ink and paint.
